Earlier in the month we had Dye Day where Possum dyed her own wool with food colouring. I had told her I would knit her something using this wool so I thought I had better hop to it.
I choose the Loopy Pixie Beanie from the Amanda Keeys book. I love that book! I was really happy with the way Possum's wool was knitting up and she was getting excited to see the little hat come to be.
The 'Craft Fail' part of this story didn't happen right until the end. I think I should have paid more attention to gauge because it would seem that Possum's Pixie hat actually is a much better fit on me...
What do you think, can I pull off a pixie beanie? Or is it just going too far...?
You can definitely pull off a beanie!!!
ReplyDeleteLucky you!
Hehehe - I don't think that's a fail at all!
ReplyDeleteNot too far at all, you can do it! She did a great job with her dyeing too.
ReplyDeleteThat's a craft win in my books - one size fits all ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's fabulous. You make a lovely pixie!
ReplyDeleteIt's a winner:) But will it go with your Winter wardrobe:) hehe.
ReplyDeleteJust think - she will get many years of enjoyment out of it!
Love the colours, and a great beanie for any occassion!
ReplyDeleteIt's very cute on you... perfect shape really, although if the rainbow wool isn't for you, I guess you can just wait til Possum's head grows just that bit bigger!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it'll be fine, you could try shrinking it or add something elasticy to headband
ReplyDeletecute as a pixie!
ReplyDeleteyou were just making it big enough for her to grow into it ;)
That yarn has knitted up so nicely! Possum is very clever. And why cant you wear a pixie beanie? Especially one that looks so good!
ReplyDeleteLove it! The yarn knitted up beautifully.
